Travelers parked in DEN’s parking lots and garages can call (303) 342-4650 for free vehicle assistance, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

These services are available in DEN-owned parking lots and garages. Travelers using an off-airport parking facility should contact their parking provider directly for assistance. 

Pro tip: Save (303) 342-4650 in your phone before your next trip. You may never need it, but you’ll be glad to have it if you do. 

 A Little Prep Goes a Long Way

A few simple steps before heading into the terminal can make your return to DEN much easier. 

1. Give your car a quick check before walking away. 
   1. Make sure your headlights, interior lights and other electronics are turned off to help prevent a drained battery while you’re away. 
2. Take a photo of where you parked. 
   1. Snap a quick picture of your row, level or nearby parking sign. After several days away, you won’t have to rely on memory to find your vehicle. 
3. Check your tires before a long trip. 
   1. Colorado’s changing temperatures can affect tire pressure, especially during the colder months. Checking your tires before leaving home can help prevent a surprise when you return. 
4. Build shuttle time into your plans. 
   1. Parking in the Pikes Peak or Longs Peak shuttle lots? Give yourself additional time to park, gather your luggage, catch the shuttle and make your way to the terminal. Shuttles depart every 7-15 minutes, it is recommended to allow 30 minutes from lot entry to terminal arrival.

More Ways to Make Parking at DEN Easier

Before you even leave home, a little planning can make your airport parking experience smoother. 

1. Know what you’ll pay. 
   1. Use DEN’s parking fee estimator before your trip to estimate your parking costs and compare your options. 
2. Track your shuttle. 
   1. If you’re using a DEN shuttle lot, you can track buses in real time with Passio GO! using the app or at flydenver.passiogo.com/. That means less guessing about when the next shuttle is coming. 
3. Picking someone up? Skip the parking fees. 
   1. Waiting for a friend or family member to land? Use DEN’s free cell phone lot until they’re ready for pickup rather than circling the terminal. 

Park, Fly and Travel With One Less Thing to Worry About

Nobody wants their vacation to end with a dead battery or a search through the parking garage. A few simple parking habits can help prevent headaches, and if something does go wrong, DEN’s vehicle assistance team is available around the clock. 

Before your next trip, remember these two things: take a photo of where you parked and save (303) 342-4650 in your phone. Your post-flight self will thank you.
